Freaking Amazing band that I recently started listening to. I like most of their songs, but some favorites are: The Wicker Man, The Trooper, Hallowed be Thy Name, Number of the Beast, Afraid to shoot strangers, etc

A torture/execution device from Medieval Germany, which consists of an iron coffin lined with spikes on the inside of the doors. The doors were closed SLOWLY so that the accused criminal would suffer maximum pain and anguish, sometimes for days, before finally dying of the resulting puncture wounds and suffocation.
Legend has it that a German coin counterfeiter was sentenced to the Iron Maiden. For the last two days of his life, the forger cried in vain while the spikes went through his body.

Gods with guitars (And drums). If you haven't heard of them, get the songs '2 Minutes To Midnight', Aces High, Hallowed Be Thy Name, The Number Of The Beast, Powerslave, and go on from there.
Seriously, these guys kick ass.

If you haven't heard of Iron Maiden you don't deserve to live.

The most kickass metal band ever. Dispite many lineup changes, they still rock from their first album in 1980 to The Dance of death album (2003) They have inspired all 1985+ Heavy metal/death metal bands. Influenced mainly by Judas Preist their music has a style like none other. The current lineup is:
Bruce dickinson - vocals
Dave murray - guitar
Adrian smith - guitar
Janick gers - guitar
Steve harris - bassist
Nicko mcBrain - Drummer
Iron maiden have dominated the charts since they have been around. Never have maiden. Iron maiden have the best fans, best bandmembers and Sound AMAZING live.

An extremely influential British metal band who got started as part of the NWOBHM. Largely owe their style to Judas Priest, but put their own spin on the form of metal that Priest established. Influenced a ridiculous amount of metal bands, and still going today. Basically one of those bands that is mandatory for metalheads.

The best metal band ever, the only people who actually hate it are dumbass slipknot fans who spam the metal forum every time someone tells them to shut the fuck up about maggots, seriously.
The best they've ever made is the best album I've ever seen: Seventh Son. Also check out Powerslave and Somewhere In Time.

A great speed metal band. Whoever says Iron Maiden is a crappy heavy metal band is an asshole who can't get their facts straight, and don't know that they are a speed metal band.
Person1: Iron Maiden is the worst heavy metal band ever
Person2: Get your facts straight before you go dissing bands douchebag.
